53) How to talk to your kids about race with Isabel Cruz


In today’s episode, we’re bringing a workshop right to your podcast feed! Join Isabel Cruz, a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) advocate and educator, as she leads an insightful and supportive conversation on raising culturally aware children in a diverse world. Living in the Netherlands, a melting pot of nearly 200 nationalities, offers endless opportunities to teach our kids about cultural appreciation and understanding.

This episode is not just about theory—it’s a conversation that will leave you better equipped to navigate sensitive topics with your children, whether it’s through books, events, or real-life encounters. How do we answer our child’s questions when they ask about differences—like why someone may look different, or why someone is wearing something unique? Isabel shares strategies to help us answer honestly, compassionately, and without discomfort.

This workshop-style episode is perfect for parents who want to help their children grow up with a better understanding of the world around them. Tune in now, or come back to it whenever these important topics come up with your little ones.
